spooky spider

Paint the clay pot or paper cup black.  Set it aside to dry.

Fold the chenille stems in half.  Tie a piece of string around all four stems at the fold.  Let the string hang towards the unfolded ends of the chenille stems.

Poke the folded ends of the chenille stems into the clay pot through the drainage hole.  (You will need to make a hole with scissors if you are using a paper cup)

Cut a short piece of the coffee stir stick (about 1.5 cm), and slip it through the loop formed by the folded chenille stems inside the pot.

Gently pull the chenille stems back out of the pot.  The stir stick should prevent them from going too far.

Bend the chenille stems down to look like spider legs & feet.

Add eyes and other decorations to your spider!
